Amigoni Urban Bianco - Nice dry white blend, available in most KC stores (not produced year round) for $15/bottle.

Boulevard Chardonnay/Viognier - Yes, Boulevard makes wine. You can only purchase it at the gift shop at the brewery. I think it's less than $20/bottle.

Most Missouri Chardonel is decent, although you'll want the ones from better known wineries from along the Missouri River.

Red:

Our state grape is Norton and does win awards. It's an acquired taste, however, and I am not a fan.

Must recommend the Amigoni Cabernet Franc (but it is always over $20/bottle). If that's too pricey, try it at their tasting room in the West Bottoms. Amigoni is also available on tap at Anton's and Affare in the Crossroads.

Kansas grows nothing worth your time, but you never know unless you sample. Somerset Ridge is a good place to start.

Norton and Chambourcin both trick me. When I'm in the tasting room and kicking back and having a good time, they're inoffensive and drinkable. I buy a bottle of each and go home, where they're tart and won't pair with anything.

The only local red that I've found consistently drinkable is the Amigoni Urban Drover. I had a Malbec from there that was really pretty good and unlike any other Malbec, but I haven't had it twice so I can't strongly recommend it.
